Definitions
In plain terms
The original filing and each amendment should remain separately addressable so historical research can select the version known at the time.
Technical
Version identity uses issuer, form, report period, accession, acceptance timestamp, source artifact, content hash, supersession links, and local availability evidence.
Scope
Version order does not by itself say that every fact in an earlier filing was replaced.
Examples
- A governed methodology records filing version with its source, cutoff, units, parameters, and effective version.
Common misconceptions
- Filing Version does not have one universal implementation without the declared methodology, data basis, and constraints.
